Amy Schumer appeared on Instagram on Friday to share her experience with the diabetes and weight loss drug Mounjaro.
Engaging her 12.7 million followers, the 43-year-old comedic actress — who attended Love Rocks benefit concert earlier this month — praised the brand, adding that it’s worked out better than its competitor Wegovy. Earlier this year she also revealed that similar drug Ozempic did not agree with her.
‘Three years ago, I tried Wegovy,’ Schumer said in a social media video. ‘I was puking, I couldn’t handle it. I don’t know if they’ve changed the formula, whatever. But anyway, I went on this Telehealth meeting with Midi Health, and it was cheap. I wanted to try it myself ‘cause I wanted to recommend it to my friends who are nurses and teachers.’
She said the virtual care clinic ‘put me on estrogen and progesterone because I realized I was in perimenopause and my symptoms from being perimenopausal have disappeared.’
Schumer noted, ‘My hair is fuller, my skin is better, I have more energy, I want to get down more, if you know what I mean. I’m talking about sex. So that’s been great and Mounjaro’s been great.’
The star added with a touch of humor, ‘And, look, it’s not covered by insurance unless you have diabetes or like severe obesity, which most of the internet thinks I have.

‘But I’m having a really good experience with it and I wanted to keep it real with you about that.’
In conclusion, she shared, ‘Midi Health. I liked it so much and I had such a good experience [that] I invested in the company.’
In January Amy appeared on The Howard Stern Show, where she discussed how using Ozempic negatively affected her health.
Schumer had to stop the once-weekly injection after suffering from extreme nausea and vomiting.
‘I have this gene — GDF15 — which makes you extremely prone to nausea, which is why I was so sick during my pregnancy,’ the mother-of-one said.
The star shares five-year-old son Gene with husband Chris Fischer.
‘So, I tried Ozempic almost three years ago and I was like, bedridden. I was vomiting and then you have no energy. But other people take it and they’re all good,’ she explained.
Although she shed 30 pounds while taking the drug, the entertainer said that it prevented her from being able to play with her son.

‘I lost 30 pounds so quick. I looked great and I couldn’t lift my head off the pillow, so what’s the point?’ she noted.
Also on Friday, Amy shared that she and her husband are selling their multi-million dollar Brooklyn home.
Sharing photos of the via Instagram, she captioned, ‘Brooklyn heights 2 parking spots. Backyard. 4 bedrooms… 1 block from Brooklyn bridge park and all the schools are so close. Will miss it so much and loved our 3 years here. Quite safe and beautiful.’
In a Stories post, she reiterated, ‘Selling our apartment after three perfect years. Brooklyn Heights heaven.’
